MOSES: Aye. <br /> <br />DARROW: Commissioner Ono? <br /> <br />ONO: Aye. <br /> <br />DARROW: Commissioner Gonzales? <br /> <br />GONZALES: Aye. <br /> <br />DARROW: Commissioner Ishibashi? <br /> <br />ISHIBASHI: Aye. <br /> <br />DARROW: And Mr. Chairman? <br /> <br />AU: Aye. <br /> <br />DARROW: The motion passes five to zero. <br /> <br />AU: Okay, thank you. Both parties will be notified in writing. So, thank you very much. <br />I’m sorry, Ms. Harden please come forward, Ms. Cory Harden. Can you raise your right hand. Do <br />you swear and affirm to tell the truth in front of the Hawai‘i County Planning Commission? <br /> <br />HARDEN: Yes. <br /> <br />AU: Please state your name, where you reside, and please speak into the microphone. <br /> <br />HARDEN: Okay, Cory Harden, Box (PO Box No. given) in Hilo. <br /> <br />AU: You have three minutes. Go ahead, thank you. <br /> <br />HARDEN: Okay. So I’m speaking about the Paradise Helicopters. First one, I thank all you <br />Commissioners for your service on the Commission; and I’m glad that you have granted standing to <br />the Volcano Park. I hope when the permit comes up that you will deny it. <br /> <br />If you grant a permit - for this culturally sensitive, remote, quiet area that borders protected land – will <br />there be a rush for similar permits, in case the pending Air Tour Management Plan does not allow <br />them? <br /> <br />Should a permit be given to a company that has a history of unpermitted landings on this site? <br /> <br />And how many unpermitted lands were there and by who? The Start-Advertiser says six helicopters <br />parked at the site one day. And three weddings were held, with guests maybe brought in by <br />helicopters. There are other reports, some conflicting. And I hope you can get at the truth. <br /> <br /> 12 <br /> EXHIBIT A <br /> <br /> <br />
